Paris Attack

The attack on Paris  suspected to be carried out by ISIS militants on 13th November, 2015 was a result of growing hatred towards Christians, Jews and other religions by the muslim fundamentalists elements. 

While  intolerance for other religions is not a new phenomena, the attack on Paris appears to be related to publication of caricature of Prophet Mohammad by renowned magazine “Charlie Hebdo”. The publication of caricature created widespread anger and resentment within the muslim community world-wide and could be one of the reasons for attack on Paris.

Also, the recent influx of migrants from Syria and Iraq to safer places in Europe possibly helped the ISIS militants to sneak in and merge with other asylum seekers. The militants might have found this to be the easiest way to settle down in different places in Europe and strike at will. The attack on Brussels recently proves this point.

Photography Techniques!

Shoot straight up - While using this technique, the camera is positioned upwards slightly tilted with a view to capture very tall objects in a shot. It offers a "worm's eye view". A worm's eye view is a view of something as if the viewer is  a worm.  In this picture the camera is pointed straight down to capture particular shot of trees.

Low angle - In this technique, people usually take shots from ground level. It makes the picture looks interesting because people generally do not take pictures from this point of view. To take these kind of pictures, you really have to get down low to match the ground level which will add a new dimension to the picture.

Tilting the camera - In this technique, you tilt the camera little bit so that the object creates a imaginary diagonal line. This gives an amazing formation to the picture. "It usually changes the horizontal and vertical lines into diagonal". In this picture below I have tilted the camera which automatically adds a new angle to my picture. Another picture is taken from internet. You can see this image from here!

Frame - Framing the objects gives another look and adds an extra dimension to the shot. In this technique, it draws attention to the object of the image. In some images a slightly blurred frame can add depth to the shots but on the other hand, some images needs to be shot with a frame in focus. There are many other ways of framing a photo. Its not necessary that the frame has to be around four edges, it can be just one or edges of your shot as well.

Eye level - In these types of shots, the camera is placed at the object's height. These shots are usual and common because they are neutral. These shots stays the same as we see them in real life. It is also called "standard" because the shots are generally taken from a height of 4 to 6 feet from the ground. These shots are taken from standing at a normal distance.
